Fornost Finale! - Wednesday 11/12 @ 9pm CST

[Bradley Mossyfoot]

About 8 months ago I obtained the Fornost West Gate key, but it's been sitting in my vault ever since and I still have all of those Fornost quests in my tracker. I'd love to clear those out (specific details concerning which quests can be given later when I'm not at work ), so if anyone needs them or just want to go along for the ride, I think it could be a good time. Just add it to the list of things I need to catch up on.

I'll help you. I've got somebody's chestplate from there and he might want it back.

[OnyxBlade]

It's been a while since I've been to fornost. When?

[Bradley Mossyfoot]

Well, I'm hoping we'll be able to get some together this Saturday for GA/Augamar stuff, maybe we could do it before/after then? Does that day work for you Pepper? Times? I'm pretty open for the weekends, and generally any time after 5:30pm during the week.

[Verewen of Rohan]

I can bring Shieleth. She has 3 Morgul Hilts and Krithmog's collar taking up much-needed space in her bags!

Anytime this weekend is good, though I'm never available after 5:00 p.m. EST on Sundays.

[pepper]

I should be free Sat afternoon after 3pm CST. Possibly earlier but not by much. I probably won't bother to watch the UT game. It's only Baylor and I'm still miffed about last week and that literally last second touchdown.

[jecii]

Did someone say Fornost? : giggle : I have three of the four hilts and that collar from the mutt...As Lady V said...its taking up much needed space...although if we wait till after the expansion, the items will simply be added to the quest journal and taken out of our inventory.

I'll want to bring the tall pointy eared one as he is the one who needs it. The minstrel got her baptism by fire a long time ago (as I am sure many folks remember).

[Lorenia]

I could do that as well, I should be around

[Bradley Mossyfoot]

So I think we'll try to shoot for sometime between 3-4pm CST today (Saturday). I should be on for a long duration today, possibly afk, but either way I'll be here during that time frame so we can get this Fornost stuff done!

[Bradley Mossyfoot]

Thanks to everyone that attended and helped out with this instance. We were able to collect 3/4 morgul hilts, free all the shades, and kill Krithmog. Unfotunately several folks had to leave for the Annuminas instance scheduled the same day, so we were unable to finish.

I'd like to organize another trip to finish the rest of this instance, only this time we can use the west gate key to skip over all the stuff we had to go through the first time. I still need to kill Riamul, collect the fourth and final morgul hilt, and call forth and kill Zanthrug by offering his breastplate.

That reminds me to ask a question. We saw him patrolling the wall from below when we were close to the west gate, but were unable to reach him. There was a door below the wall he patrols but we couldn't open it. Is there a way to reach him from there, or is that just a teaser and access to him comes later on in the instance? No one in the group knew exactly how to reach him or the place to put his breastplate.

Let me know who's interested in finishing this instance so we can set a time and be done with it, once and for all!

[Verewen of Rohan]

Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday evening is clear for me.

Did you not have the quest when we fought Riamul? Because we -did- defeat him. He was the last boss that we fought before we had to leave. I think after him we have just the Warg boss (who drops an item essential for the final fight with the BIG Boss, Remmenaig (sp), and then Remmenaig himself. But then there Zanthrug too. Like we discussed Saturday evening, I can't recall how to get to him. I think there's another entrance into that area but we just haven't found it yet. I know where to lay the breastplate, though. Once that's done, he'll activate and the whole sequence will play out.

That said, I hope we manage to get something together over the next couple of nights, cuz I won't be available for grouping again until NEXT Monday (we have company coming into town for the weekend.)

Who's up for finishing Fornost??? Huh huh huh???

[Bradley Mossyfoot]

The quest to kill Riamul comes after the Freeing the Fallen quest, which I hadn't completed until that run. Either way, don't you have to kill him to progress through the instance anyway? I remember he was blocking the way on that bridge.

The warg boss you're talking about that drops an essential item, is that Krithmog or a different warg? I don't remember him dropping any kind of special item, but I might have missed it. Remmenaeg is the one who holds the final morgul hilt, so we definately need to do that one (if not only so I can clear the other three from my inventory )

As far as Zanthrug, you said you know where to lay the breastplate...but is that located inside the area we couldn't access? I assume because otherwise we would have done it when we were there

I'm all for doing this sometime in the next few nights. How about Tuesday or Wednesday night? Anyone else interested in helping please post availability so we can get something set.

[Zabrak]

I can probably do Wednesday. Is 9 PM the standard starting time?

[Bradley Mossyfoot]

Changed the post title to reflect Zabrak's suggested time, if that works. Can be modified if needed, otherwise let's shoot for Wed @ 9pm CST.

I'l bring the key!

[pepper]

Wednesday works for me.

[Verewen of Rohan]

So that's 9 p.m. CST, 10 p.m EST.

We can totally take down Riamul again, Bradley, I didn't realize that those 2 quests were linked.

This other "warg" boss is actually a sorceress, she has 3 pets that we have to fight and this is where I mis-spoke; they're not wargs, I think they're barghests. She's beyond the doors that Riamul is guarding, if I'm remembering this correctly. I can't remember her name though.

As for the Zanthrug encounter, there's an entrance there somewhere; we'll just have to kill everything in sight to get to it. Once inside his compound, there's an old fountain where you lay the breastplate, and that activates him. You know that other door right below where he was walking that wouldn't open for us? It will open either during the fight with him or right after.

Anyway... Wednesday night is good for me. Let's do it! I wanna get those hilts out of my bags.

[Bradley Mossyfoot]

THANK YOU everyone who helped with Fornost last night. Even though we didn't ever figure out how to get to Zanthrug, I didn't feel bad at all about throwing his disgusting breastplate off the bridge on my way back to Esteldin. Let him go find it himself; if he wanted it back he wouldn't have hidden in such an impossible location. I'm glad to put this place behind me for a while.

Another point of interest, after checking through my inventory and auctioning off some junk, I reconfirmed that I did not have Remmenaeg's armour in my bags anywhere. I received a phone call and idled out, but when I re-logged *poof* there it was! I'm assuming this is some bug concerning the overflow container no functioning properly, but either way it's there now so I'm happy!
